Easter at Rosings in Pride & Prejudice

In this quiet way, the first fortnight of her visit soon passed away.
Easter was approaching, and the week preceding it was to bring an
addition to the family at Rosings, which in so small a circle must be
important. Elizabeth had heard, soon after her arrival, that Mr. Darcy
was expected there in the course of a few weeks, and though there were
not many of her acquaintance whom she did not prefer, his coming would
furnish one comparatively new to look at in their Rosings parties, and
she might be amused in seeing how hopeless Miss Bingley's designs on him
were, by his behaviour to his cousin, for whom he was evidently
destined by Lady Catherine; who talked of his coming with the greatest
satisfaction, spoke of him in terms of the highest admiration, and
seemed almost angry to find that he had already been frequently seen by
Miss Lucas and herself. (Chapter 30, Pride and Prejudice novel)

Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the
Parsonage, and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the
pleasure of their engagements at Rosings. It was some days, however,
before they received any invitation thither -- for while there were
visitors in the house they could not be necessary; and it was not till
Easter-day, almost a week after the gentlemen's arrival, that they were
honoured by such an attention, and then they were merely asked on
leaving church to come there in the evening. For the last week they had
seen very little of either Lady Catherine or her daughter. Colonel
Fitzwilliam had called at the parsonage more than once during the time,
but Mr. Darcy they had only seen at church (Chapter 31, Pride and Prejudice novel)

"I...do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before." (Mr. Darcy)
"Perhaps you should take your aunt's advice and practice?" (Lizzie)

Mr. Collins: ...which are only to be obtained through intercourse...
[pause, thunder]
Mr. Collins: Forgive me... through the intercourse of friendship or civility.

Mr Collins, in his vestments, stands in the pulpit delivering his
sermon. Lady Catherine sits in the front row with her miserable-looking
daughter and DOWNTRODDEN GOVERNESS. Lizzie sits a little way behind
with Colonel Fitzwilliam. They talk in whispers.

LIZZIE: How long do you plan to stay in Kent, Colonel?
FITZWILLIAM: As long as Darcy chooses. I am at his disposal.
LIZZIE: Everyone appears to be at his disposal. I wonder he does not marry and secure a lasting convenience of that kind.

Fitzwilliam looks at Lizzie, curious about her brittle tone.

FITZWILLIAM: She would be a lucky woman.
LIZZIE: Really?
FITZWILLIAM: Darcy is a most loyal companion. From what I heard, on our
journey here, he recently came to the rescue of one of his friends just
in time.

Darcy glances across from the adjacent pew.

LIZZIE What happened?
FITZWILLIAM: He saved the man from an imprudent marriage.
LIZZIE: (faltering slightly) Who was the man?
FITZWILLIAM: His closest friend. Charles Bingley.

A silence.

LIZZIE: Did Mr Darcy give you his reasons for this interference?
FITZWILLIAM: There were apparently strong objections to the lady.
LlZZlE: What kind of objections? Her lack of fortune?
FlTZWlLLlAM: I think it was her family that was considered unsuitable.
LlZZlE: So he separated them?
FlTZWlLLlAM: 1 believe so. I know nothing else.

Another first look has been released (above photo by Robert Viglasky via Sundance Institute) of Keira Knightley, this time in her other upcoming film Colette, in which she stars with Dominic West. Keira plays the title role as a French novelist, Colette, overcomes an abusive marriage to emerge as a
leading writer in her country and a candidate for the Nobel Prize in
Literature.

The film will world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival in mid January 2018.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the most successful film adaptation (I'm talking about the film version released in Theaters/Cinemas not the TV Mini-series version) ofJane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright's 2005Pride & Prejudice film (which was nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Actress for its lead star Keira Knightley; 2 Golden Globe including Best Actress nomination for Knightley; and 6 BAFTA nominations including The Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director) has the best ensemble cast. The main cast of P&P movie are incredible and multi-talented. Some of them have been working steady and continued to get recognized on
their own in various stage plays, television and film projects they've
done since their P&P movie was released a decade ago this month.

When Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), she believes he is the last man on earth she could marry.
